What I wish someone could explain but everyone dances around it. What is auto attack exactly? Is it the 1 key spinning and when it stops, auto attack is over? People say that you should not interrupt auto attack, so you just wait until some visual cue tells you that auto attack is over and you can hit another skill? I will never be able to understand a 20 step rotation and I get that it means I will never raid, do cm strikes etc and I am fine with it.
But the 30k dps with 4 skills video is a fun watch but is not true really. I used the mechanist one, all the same gear, food, was close on the jewelry and I could barely get 12k dps. In open world pve I dropped down to 4-6k. Personally I feel that these videos are just someone showing off what they can do on the dummy but put them out playing and they fail.
